REDWOOD CITY –A San Mateo County judge arrested on suspicion of DUI late last month was charged with the crime when the district attorney learned his blood alcohol content was .12 percent, one and a half times the legal limit.

Assistant presiding Judge Joseph Scott, 63, was charged with misdemeanor driving under the influence Wednesday, more than two weeks after he was pulled over for swerving between lanes on northbound Highway 101, District Attorney Steve Wagstaffe said. The second-highest-ranking judge in the county was alone in his car when he was stopped about 12:30 a.m. May 24 at Woodside Road.

The judge was reportedly asked to step out of the car when the Redwood City police officer smelled alcohol on his breath, Wagstaffe said. He failed both a field sobriety test and a blood alcohol test that acts similar to a Breathalyzer.

According to Wagstaffe, Scott’s breath and blood tests both revealed a BAC of .12 percent, 50 percent over the legal limit. In lieu of jail, he was taken to sober up at First Chance in Burlingame, a substance abuse program for first-time offenders.

Scott faces a maximum of six months in jail and a $1,000 fine, but the standard sentence for a first offense is three years of probation, two days of county jail served through a work program and a $1,650 fine, Wagstaffe said.

Meanwhile, Scott remains on the job, according to Wagstaff. Scott is scheduled to become the presiding judge next year.

Scott, who has been a San Mateo County judge since 2003, is serving a six-year term that will expire in January 2017. He will make his first court appearance Aug. 5 at the same courthouse where he serves on the bench.
